Winchell W Quock, MD

We love Dr Quock, he’s great! I have 3 kids that go here so I come here pretty often. We are always able to squeeze in on same day appts if it’s an emergency and the Dr is friendly.
My toddler loves the fact that he carries stickers in his pocket and let’s her pick one before she leaves.
I also noticed he washes his hands between each and every appt, (which he should but sometimes ppl don’t) l so appreciate that.

I had to look up Dr Quock today so that I can get my immunization records and see what else I need for an upcoming trip to South Africa. Being in my early 30s, it makes me happy to see that my pediatrician is still practicing after all these years (and highly rated on Unilocal!). Judging from the pictures that other Unilocalers posted, the office still looks the same. My heart is smiling from the memories.
More importantly, from what I remember as a youngster, I didn’t dread seeing him so I must’ve liked him!

My kids have been seeing Dr Quock for several years now and love the efficient ness of receiving last minute appts and the straight forward answers we get here. The staff remembers our names (which means a lot) and are super nice. We did use to go to Dr Carol Lee for a lot longer and no one there new our names or were able to fit us in for last minute appt.
FYI Dr Quock always has a pocket full of stickers for the little ones to warm up to him during the appt. My 2 year old loves that aspect of the appt. =)

Dr Quock was a really friendly doctor and my child liked and felt very comfortable around him. However his equipment is a little dated and it’d be nice if he had more modern equipment. He is professional and informative.

My daughter is 4 yo now. Dr. Quock is the best Pediatrician i can ever ask for. He is the only doctor in the bay area that would make home visits for a newborn.
With the past 4 years of experience with him, he’s been consistant with following up on my daughter’s condition every time she’s sick. He is so thorough explaining causes, symptoms and what to avoid. That really makes a huge positive difference for a 1^st time mother, for me to feel secure and worried-​free.
Dr. Quock & staff is extremely nice and down to earth. I called him when my daugher was constipated for 2 days, he would even pick up the phone to talk to me when i call him during mid day in btwn his patience. He had always answered all my questions and taught me not to be a worried freak as a 1^st time mom — very important!
I wish he was my Pediatrician when i was a kid!

Consistently impresses us, professional, and down to earth. He’s patient, quick, and obviously knows his stuff. His office has the flexibility of a seasoned grandparent. :) Good with overanxious new parents. Sold since the home visit after the birth. A pediatrician in his prime. A+.

We love Dr Quock, he has been our childrens pediatrician since they were born and were are still happy. He is great and respects our choices, pretty old school and straight to the point. We can always get ahold of him, different hours, weekends, thru voicemail system he immediately calls back. We appreciate all that him & his staff do for us ;)

I am almost 21 years old and I still go to Dr. Quock. If he’s not telling me to find a new doctor, I’m not leaving. Call me stubborn, but I just refuse to go to a different doctor, he’s been my doctor since I was born and he knows me best. If you’re looking for a sugar coating super comforting doctor, Dr. Quock is not the doctor for you or your children, he definitely tells you how it is. Although he runs through his appointments super quick, he gets what he needs to get done, done and he answers all your questions. His staff is also really friendly :)

Dr. Quock is always super nice to me and my family whenever my kid brother needs to visit. Dr. Quock has always been a fast worker. It gets busy at his office, so he has to be quick; but with his speed comes thoroughness. So stop complaining about how fast he runs through his appointments. Instead, step aside so he can save the next child since he’s already done saving yours! Keep on keepin’ on Dr. Quock.

I am now 25 years old and I have fond memories growing up and going to Dr. Quock’s office as a kid. As Judith T. mentioned, many people bring their kids to see Dr. Quock which include my mom (I’m from Marin county.30 minutes away). With my many visits (vaccinations, shots, etc) I always remembered Dr. Quock’s warmness and smile. Great pediatrician… I would go back if I was still in the bay area (even at age 25).

He has been my go-​to doctor since I was a toddler. I’m in college now and I still go back to him. He’s very kind, and polite with all his patients, and he doesn’t let you leave uninformed about anything. He is very well educated and a family-​oriented doctor. My mom always asked him question after question about miscellaneous things and he would answer everything despite other patients waiting to see him.

My kids are now 13 and 14 and have been patients of Dr. Quock and Dr. Liau since they were born. Both had home visits by Dr. Quock as newborns. They have both seen both Dr. doctor’s, which is something I like. They always fit you in. I have showed up without calling, with my sick child and they always fit us in.
They are no nonsense. If you are looking for a warm fuzzy doctor, Dr. Quock is not for you. He is not going to hold your hand and coddle you. Some people need more of that. If you want someone who is smart and knows what they are doing, and will give it to you straight, he is your guy. Dr. Liau is more of the warm, fuzzy type. The kids see both of them. They are both great doctors.
They talk directly to the children about everything. Recently Dr. Quock talked to my 14 year old about her period and teen pregnancy, etc. It was great to hear important info coming from a doctor. Some kids do not get any of this at home, so I was glad he touched on these things, in a very, simple appropriate way.
I find the parking is always easy to find, it is just metered. I love these doctors, they are always willing to fill a prescription and see my children when needed. The Sat. appts are also great. We love this office. The front desk is also great.

I really appreciate that Dr. Quock does home visit for newborn babies’ first appointment. Also, they open on Saturdays until 2pm.

Like I said in my previous review, Dr. Quock is an old time doctor that puts people’s needs over profit. During the holidays, one of the kids got sick and even though he was suppose to close early on Xmas eve (2:00), he still accepted our last minute appointment and told us to come on down.
While we were waiting for our turn, it appears a lot of other parents were calling in trying to squeeze an appt on Xmas eve and the staff told them to come too. Even though they didn’t have to, Dr. Quock and the staff did not turn anyone down or tell them to go to ER. That’s customer service for you. If you went to a «newer» pediatrician, or heck, any doctor that is practicing right now, they would tell you to head over to ER-​hell instead of giving you the courtesy of an appt.
This is not the first time we called and got a last minute appt. Dr. Quock and his staff always agreed to see us.
For the person who has an issue w/​how Dr Quock responds to questions, please, he is not the type of person that will hand hold or molly coddle new parents. He tells it like it is. No bs from him. He works for us because we didn’t expect or want candy coating.

Dr. Quock and Dr. Liao are excellent pediatricians! Dr. Quock knows his business. It’s fun to watch him interact with my girls when they were babies and now. He always pays respect to my grandmother if she is along. Dr. Quock also makes housecalls for newborns as some Chinese are known to practice that age old superstition by staying home for about the first 30 days. When my cousin had her first baby, she was living in San Mateo. He drove all the way out there.
Dr. Liao is extremely thorough in her explanations. If it’s a situation that needs follow up, she always remembers to call to check up on my daughter.
Both doctors are fast in giving the kids shots and plenty of stickers to give. They have one of the most noble jobs in this world and get so much crap because kids usually hate shots and cry.

He does little to alleviate any concerns or fears that you may have of your sick child, especially if you are a new parent. His answers to your questions appear flippant and condescending at times. «Hey, kids always have fevers…» He fails to explain or comfort.
Although I’ve heard that he makes house calls to new infants, he sometimes complains about his work hours to visitors. Not very professional at all.
He is a doctor who is tired of his profession, and seems no longer to enjoy it, unfortunately. Also unfortunately is the fact that he is one of the few doctors in the area that can help parents who speak Chinese. So it’s basically a no choice decision.

I recommended to Dr. Quock by Judi Tinkelenberg, nurse midwife, at Sage Femme Midwifery. As a new parent, I was relieved by Dr. Quock’s caring and informative manner. He even came to my home for my baby’s first appointment just home from the hospital. This was a great help since I was recovering from a cesarean delivery. I was particularly impressed that he held my daughter to comfort her after she had her first immunizations. I always left with suggestions on how to care for her in the next stage of development. Sadly, my family and I had to move to San Jose. We miss him already.

Dr. Quock has been our daughters doctor since she was born July 2006. Our first visit was a home visit, which is how he sees all new Born’s in the first week. I have never had a problem getting an appointment and have found his office staff pleasant. More recently I have seen Dr. Liau who is extremely thorough. I highly recommend both doctors.

As a doctor, he’s good on one hand but bad on the other. We had him as my daughter’s pedi for the first 2 months. First of all, he’s very nice to make house visit for newborn the first week. It makes a new family more easy not to take a newborn out and get into a clinic that maybe full of germs. I was told by a nurse in the hospital that he’s the only doctor who would offer that to newborn in SF.
However, he’s always in a rush when we visited him in the clinic. He was not really considerate to ignore the questions of a mom of a newborn. He kept saying that it’s normal for a baby to cry when she’s so hungry but refused to be nursed. I wondered if it’s the nursing position, or if she’s sick, or if there’s any way to improve the situation. But, his answer was that it’s normal and it must be that I made her to be nursed that made her cry. Does it make sense? At least, it won’t convince me.
He also forgot to fill out my daughter’s immune card 2 times! I brought my daughter to see another doctor and she was just so shocked that my daughter’s card showed no record for the 2 shots that she must have in the 1^st and 2^nd month. But since I have remembered that Dr. Quock had given her 3 shots and 1 oral vac that we sort of believed that my daughter had what she needed to have.
I believe that Dr. Quock is very experienced and he’s a good doctor but we just do not have confidence to keep bringing my daughter to see him any more. One of his clinic staff (the thin tiny one with a pair of glasses) is very very nice and helpful. She tried her best to sqeeze me in the schedule when Dr. Quock’s day was so full with appointments. But, another younger fatter one was really rude and just concentrates on her conversation with other staff all the time — it seemed that we have bothered her when we were there.

Seen him ever since I was a toddler until I got kicked out because I’ve come of age and he was no longer able to see him and Dr. Berty Liau. I’ve seen both doctors and preferred Dr. Liau more simply because I was able to identify with her being of the same gender and all. She was a bit more thorough with explaining certain details compared to Dr. Quock, but both doctors are fabulous and come highly recommended. Parking is a bit tough since it’s on Geary, but it’s worth it. We commute across the city to see Dr. Quock and Dr. Liau. Staff has been around for a while too and they’re very nice and considerate. Wait times are kept no longer than 30 minutes.
